2:20 "What syntax is that?" For those curious: It's EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form), which is commonly used to specify (context-free) grammars of formal languages. Things in double quotes mean literally those symbols in that order (each being so called 'terminals' as in 'things that end'), otherwise it's like a variable (called 'non-terminal'). Braces mean that everything in them can occur zero or an arbitrary number of times in a row. Brackets (without quotes) mean that something can but doesn't have to occur. Parantheses are used for grouping. "|" is OR and white space between (non-)terminals mean AND.

0:24 "Obviously AI is going to take all of our jobs the moment that product managers can accurately describe what they want which means our jobs are effective safe at infinitum" So true ! I'd add the client to project manager. Now Imagine someplace where the product manager didn't get the memo. At first, the client is stratified with the first release, it was cheaper, it was on time, so now the client wants more and every department wants their part in the new release with contradicting specification. Because of this, the software is broken where it used to work and the new feature are never quite right. And every time the product manager try to fix something by tweaking de specification, every pieces of code is slightly change and it's broken at 15 different other places. So funny, I'm an oracle now.

For rectangles overlapping, if you need to try cases, excepted boundary cases (to make it much simpler to list): A contains B also swap A for B A contains only TL of B A contains only TR of B A contains only BL of B A contains only BR of B A contains TL and TR of B also swap A for B A contains TR and BR of B also swap A for B A contains BR and BL of B also swap A for B A contains BR and TL of B also swap A for B A overlaps B also swap A for B (for orientation) 16 cases A human would check if the two rectangles do not overlap, by looking if left side of A is to the right of right side of B or right side of B is to the left of left side of B AND same for top and bottom. A simpler problem is "intervals overlaps", it's easier to visualize: Lower bound of A is left of lower bound of interval B and upper bound of interval A is left of lower bound of interval B. Lower bound of A is left of lower bound of interval B and upper bound of interval A is in interval B. Lower bound of A is left of lower bound of interval B and upper bound of interval A is right of upper bound of interval B. Lower bound of A is in interval B and upper bound of A is in interval B. Lower bound of A is in interval B and upper bound of A is right of upper bound of interval B. Lower bound of A is right of upper bound of B and upper bound of A is right of upper bound of interval B. 6 cases And boundary cases are not taken into account! It's simpler to check that upper bound of A is left of lower bound of B or lower bound of A is right of upper bound of B is false. To be fair, I am not even sure I covered all cases for overlapping rectangles (besides ignoring boundary cases). So, it only makes it much harder.

[@programaths]

Like a programmer: (2*4) : Include one point or two points, 4 symmetries (1*4) A and B swapped, contains two points, 4 symmetries (1*2) full containment (1*1) disjoint (1*2) overlap without containing vertices of each other. 17 cases.

[@aneroid]

2:49 Dicts with a type, or only "one" type: if the key is always a specific type, then it doesn't need to be specified, only the **type of the values** is specified. Since that was done for JS, dicts can only have string keys so you don't need to specify that. Similarly, in Python `tiny: dict[str, int] = {}` needs both key and value types to be specified; but when it's the type for keyword-arguments, the type of the key is implied to be string so you only need to specify the type of the value, and no need to even specify that it's a dict: `def works(**kw: int): ...` So `tiny` & `works` actually have the same type despite appearing like different specifications.

Society will progress much slower if you're the only one at the helm, and you obviously have things to fear if you're keeping the solution to all of life's ails for yourself. You gain things with 1 decision and lose things on the other. It's an easy decision for a selfish person.

@@Neuroszima For starters, I don't think sam altman would be able to own and hide AGI for himself. OpenAI has thousands of people working on this. And it would be a little suspect if OpenAI suddenly close up shop and suddenly altman is commissioning dyson spheres.

There's something to be said for using AI to generate Javascript. Choosing to use a language that allows you to do everything wrong without batting an eye is a great platform to allow AI to force solutions that comply with your examples.

Dude as much as I like this kind of format, I think these videos should go on his main channel. I miss seeing his raw reactions and takes on blogs and videos.

[@christopheanfry]

Thank you for this video and for the message transmitted. I love to learn and be good and use AI for very few things but I can’t do things without understanding them. So I definitely prefer to learn how to code and solve problems by myself than using AI

[@Ari-pq4db]

I think AI will be able to write a complete software and also debug if an error occurred at/during deployment, therefore eradicating the need for software engineers... I don't know how I feel about that

[@tonystarkagi]

i mean, if u keep listening to people like this guy, you should be fine

[@Ari-pq4db]

@@tonystarkagi Not just listening, got to get the hands dirty on the tech itself you know 👍, But yeah The Primeagen is awesome !!

@@Ari-pq4dbi was being saecastic bro, coding is dead, no more jobs and AI will be able to do anything , wake up lmao

[@Ari-pq4db]

@@tonystarkagi Yeah right, that is what my original comment says, but it will take a few dozen years to fully control the whole system

[@martinomg]

Instead of adding examples using as reference in zero shot prompts (just one instruction), use the few shot approach instead writing down a few correct expected function Outputs and you will see a lot of improvements in the results. It takes a lot more time to prepare, but it is difficult for AI to fail using few shot prompts, because you basically build them a few correct rounds so they can replicate your already working logic.

3:30 This feels like the programmer equivalent of an artist correcting messed up hands in an AI generated picture.

Funny Bit: It's 4 AM in India here & the effect is being seen on my Master Prime Serious Bit: He is just saying the truth which beginners won't listen & intermediate people would appreciate & Sr people already know so they will open the video for the fun bit. I love watching his videos be it long or short. The name is ❤

[@nanonkay5669]

I'm actually a developer that turned project manager lol. Couldn't get a job as a developer with about 2 years work experience, 4 years programming experience. I surprisingly got a job as a project manager recently and it's a whole paradigm that I've been experiencing. Perhaps jobs won't be hard to find now compared to how it was

Amén man! This is the kind of statement that helps to think clearly and removes all the shit generated by the hype! Well say!

[@1FatBubbatm]

I mean maybe you're right. Maybe AI is just a fad and will never disrupt anything. I love your dismissive view on this tech I hope it more people start looking at it like you do.

[@ThePrimeTimeagen]

I think it most certainly will change a lot of our lives, I just don't think it's even one leap away from being some Star Trek future

If I had a genie that could infinitly grant wishes. I would create the illusion of genies for all. Lesser genies. This would keep people from coming for my genie. I think whatever they give or sell us, it will be significantly less than anything they possess.

Honestly, considering the legality now, AI. How do I even begin to think of using AI in any capacity that can get into loaded legal problems?

[@bravo90_]

they would not be only ones with superintelligence. they would have to give it up. the public would not let them have it. they would have to share.

[@ZentoNFTs]

Best summary of ai ever! If you had an ai that could create everything why would you sell it for less than $20 a month :) legend. Love the videos.

[@Cxeb]

We already have a language that looks a lot like that, actually works, and doesn't need AI because it predates it by decades. Prolog.

[@ric8ard]

The Specification for the language is actually in BNF form (Brand New F$ckup). Backus & Naur are currently doing about 1000 RPM in their graves :/

[@colinjacobs176]

I did a similar experiment where I wrote a simple language specification, which included comments for the AI to read, and had it flesh out various parts of the program to make python. It worked pretty well, better than this. Not sure I'd turn it into a startup though.

This is terrible. But that's what's beautiful about these LLMs, we can think of 1000 different ways to learn to work with LLMs and experiment, Some approaches are big failures, others are genius. I'm loving it.

[@asynclab]

So Prime, what language would you recommend for developers (web, javascript) trying to go beyond the web and js framework madness into more of server and infrastructure. Trending new languages like Go or Rust, or Java, python or C++. Thanks
